It’s not ocean plastic ... it is deadly

DOG walkers and parents are being warned to be on the look-out for a creature known as the “Floating Terror” on North Wales’ beaches.

The potentially deadly Portuguese Man O’War has been spotted washed up on shorelines in the wake of storms Eunice and Franklin.

They are causing particular concern because examples found are small – just two inches across – and can easily be mistaken for ocean plastic.

In some cases, one sting from the creature is enough to kill both animals and humans – even if it is already dead.

People are being urged not to touch them or walk barefoot, and to keep dogs and children well away.
